Judge Judy gets a presidential pitch in Merloys' guessing game
The player endorses his mystery celebrity before he can name her, then struggles to recognize daytime TV's courtroom star.
Why this story? The video is running at 104,216 views a day, 12 times its usual pace (8,331).
She'd be a great president 🇺🇸😂#shorts
"Whoever's on my head should definitely run for president," declares a player wearing a Judge Judy cutout. Identifying his candidate turns out to be harder than endorsing her.
The clip on Merloys follows three players wearing celebrity headbands, with Jimmy Fallon and Colin Farrell completing the lineup. Yes-or-no questions narrow the mystery woman down, but television is a broad clue. The player tries Ellen DeGeneres, prompting an immediate objection to that particular presidential prospect.
The more useful clue is wonderfully specific: "No, it's very like 3:00 p.m. in a hotel TV." Even that doesn't settle it. Sandra Bullock and Jerry Springer enter the guessing process before the others start pointing toward a job title.
Posted four days ago, the Short added about 104,000 views over the past day, more than twelve times its usual daily pace. That's a substantial change from its modest opening day, when it drew roughly 5,600 views.
Merloys edits moments from the Stiff Socks Podcast rather than producing the original show. Its familiar headband-game format supplies the joke here: everyone else can see the answer, while the person confidently proposing a president still needs help naming her.
